Easy Star Prop

[05prostock]

I'd like to use one of the tower pro prop/speed contoller/motor combos from hobbycity on my easy star. I want the maximum amount of power from a 6 inch prop (won't fit anything bigger).

Which prop/motor setup should I choose?

Thanks!

You might be better finding an Easystar forum and posting the question. We try to keep this forum dedicated to the Hobbyzone Super Cub. However, you might get lucky and someone who has an Easystar could post here.

Have a good day!

None of those TP outrunner combos on the UH site will be great for the easystar unless you are willing to use a larger prop than a 6" which is about the max on an unmodded E*. If you really want, you could create a motor mount which mounts the motor 'above' the existing motor narcelle on the E* and use the larger prop. There is an example of this in the RC groups E* thread I think, but to me it kind of looks ugly. Or, another possibility is to remove a chunk of foam from the fuse below the prop for clearance which would allow the use of a 7" prop. I would not do this unless you have a carbon spar embedded in the fuse though. Use this combo in this case:

I've always used the inrunners on my E*. If your goal is more power but still decent run time, use one of the UH 2200KV inrunners with an APC6x4E prop:

along with the TP 30A ESC which I have used and in my opinin is a bargain:

Total investment of abut $35.

I bought the stock Stryker C motor, esc and prop and put them in my easystar. Climbs almost straight up. I like to just get up there and float. The stock easystar took too long to reach altitude

I finally got it finished. With dave's suggested setup.
It will fly straight up for about 70 feet!
I love this thing!

Thanks alot for the help ;D
